Here’s a holiday home that suspends belief! It’s The Balancing Barn, a unique, property in the Suffolk countryside, designed to create a feeling of weightlessness.
The home which sleeps eight, is clad in a reflective silver “membrane” to mirror the surrounding valley, and the cantilever structure shows off the split level of the ground beneath.
The Balancing Barn has four bedrooms, a spacious kitchen and dining room and a lounge with a large picture window giving views over the adjacent valley, which is managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust. Two of the bedrooms have “in room’”baths and there’s a semi-concealed door which gives access to the garden on the level below.
Ideal for those who enjoy nature and wildlife, the property is located in Thorington, a few miles inland from the coastal towns of Aldeburgh and Walberswick. Prices start from £810 for a four-night midweek break, £880 for a three-night weekend and £1,555 for seven nights. See www.living-architecture.co.uk/the-houses/balancing-barn/overview/
